He claims he will run a 4.4 forty at the combine. That is not to happen in a month. Mark me down for a 4.69 at the combine, which is a very good time for an edge rusher, but not elite speed by any means. .
dude is physically gifted he has the goods if he had a handful of legit pass rush moves he would be a top 5-10 pick... he just really doesn't have moves he just out athletes people 95% of his snaps. if he gets takin by a team that can develop solid moves he will be a a pro bowler
He doesn't have great length or explosiveness and he isn't a natural bender. He ran a 10.58 100 meter dash in high school (at around 225-230) which is extremely impressive, but his get-off isn't that impressive on tape and build up speed isn't that helpful for a 4-3 DE. Even if he had pass rush moves and better technique, he'd be ranked far behind Garrett as a prospect - he'd probably be a top 10 or top 15 pick, but his physical attributes aren't as impressive as I thought. Love his motor and would be happy with him in the 2nd if we don't get Garrett in the first, but I'm not expecting him to be a pro bowler.
I think he's a good QB prospect and if we don't end up picking him someone (possibly the Browns or a team wanting to move up) could help us get our guy.
